BIRMINGHAM, AL — R&B veteran Lloyd proved that the show must go on this week, recovering gracefully from a hard fall during a performance in Birmingham, Alabama.
While performing his hit single “Girls Around The World,” the singer—dressed in a striking gold suit—attempted a spin move followed by a slide toward the microphone stand. However, his traction failed him. Lloyd slipped and fell face-first into a stage monitor, hitting the equipment while still wearing his sunglasses.
A Professional Recovery
Despite the severity of the impact, which occurred in front of a packed crowd, Lloyd’s reaction turned a potentially humiliating moment into a display of professionalism.
Video footage from the event shows the “Street Love” singer immediately rolling onto his back. Rather than storming off stage or ending the set, Lloyd was seen laughing at the mishap. He exchanged a grin with his guitarist, checked that he was uninjured, and retrieved his microphone to continue the performance without missing a beat.
Social Media Reaction
The incident quickly made rounds on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, drawing a mix of concern, humor, and praise.

** The Fashion Critique:** Some fans poked fun at Lloyd’s choice of footwear, with comments jokingly blaming his long, shiny loafers for the lack of grip.
